What absolutely ridiculous and inconsequential things have put you off a partner?

[InstrumentsofTorture]

I don't mean completely acceptable reasons like poor hygiene, lying, flakiness etc. I mean things that the poor other person could not possibly have anticipated would mean the end of their relationship.

For me it was many years ago when I finally finally got together with a lad I'd had a crush on for about 3 years. About 2 months after we started seeing each other he invited me to his house. Which is where he committed the unforgivable sin of picking up a broom and sweeping the kitchen floor.

That was it. 3 years of obsessing over him and, just like that, a bloody sweeping brush came between us.

3 different men

1. Told me he ‘did a naughty’ and got sacked from his job, plus still lived with parents and couldn’t drive (felt like a date with a 12 year old)
2. Looked nothing like his picture, when I was leaving the date he tried to insist on coming home with me, then text me when I got home saying ‘I really wish I’d come back with you’
3. Not a partner/date but a friend who admitted he liked me and wanted to ‘lick my face and watch me sleep’ 🙃

I’m sure I have read this before !!!!!! Absolutely love this .

One dude Pronounced genre ‘Jen-ear’

I told him the correct pronunciation (we were at home in private) and he got angry about it. I didn’t want him to look like a pillock. Didn’t mean he wasn’t smart just meant he hadn’t heard the word spoken out loud.

Another. Called me a snob and stuck up bitch when I said I needed some brain stimulation aka read a book or watch a documentary instead of gaming. I just wanted to do something different.

Ordered lemon and herb in Nandos

@SantaLovesTheBanter that reminds me of a 'date' I went on.
I met a bloke in the pub and a friend knew him vaguely and said oh he's a bit of layabout but me being intrigued thought I'd give him the benefit of the doubt and go on a date with him 🙈
Turned up at his flat on a Sunday afternoon where he had cooked pre cooked ham which comes in a silver foil tray and potato croquettes 😂 we then went to the golf driving range I drove and he brought a four pack of cheap beers! It's was so awful!
I made up an excuse that my friend needed me and legged it!

"My fanny just withered and died" lmfao 🤣

🤣🤣

He liked to make his own soup …and brought me some over in a flask.

Kept his small change in a purse.

Hilarious.

He had freckly lips

He couldn’t use chopsticks.

Ate a sandwich in three bites.

Toenails. Long. Nasty. End of.

😅

I can’t stop laughing !!!!!

@swedex it just smacks of "I'm so handsome and wonderful, I don't even need to try. No effort required, my presence alone should sweep her right off her feet!" And all he did was talk about how great he thought he was all night.

Eurgh!

I was so fucking annoyed at putting on nice clothes, paying for a train ticket, travelling and wasting an evening on a conceited layabout.

But initially, it was those slippers. The second I saw him sauntering into the station in those things I instantly thought 'what have I done'

😂

My DH has to point to what he wants on a menu and make sure the waiter sees - as well as saying out loud. It makes me want to murder him a bit

He said “oooh yeah momma”. I was 17 and we were in Yorkshire… nobody ever said the word momma and it can never be said ever ever in a sexy turn on way. I still shudder and it’s nearly 30 years ago.

Told me I had cracking baps 🤢

This has properly made me howl, bathroom slippers 😂😂

Ah, I think I see better now. A bottom swaying would be most dismaying. One does not want to date a male Mary Poppins!

Not me but my friend went on a date with a man who turned up wearing an obvious wig. He went to the loo and tripped up steps on the way back and the wig slipped. He didn’t notice and sat opposite her with a wonky wig 🤦‍♀️

I started dating a guy years ago who I’d only known through work, we had never communicated electronically at the time as we saw each other most days in work. After the first date, he added me on Facebook. He sent me a message and his spelling was atrocious, it was an instant deal breaker for me.

Yeah, I was gonna say this! Apparently smell tells you how healthy your babies would be with them - so if they smell attractive, it's a big thing
